More than 3 = Always, always trashy. Always.

Not when they all attend private schools, summer camps, and ivies on a single income or no discernible form of income and are called Chip or Trip.

Chip or Trip are always white trash.

yeah, I agree, except for the names, those are a few decades out now.

Names being "out" is not relevant/does not factor.

Eats outside a lot
In business with his uncles
Cuts in line
Taxidermy in the living room
Has a lawyer
Makes his own liquor
Thinking about running for office

Lol nice list!

My WASP aunt loves to talk about how tacky it is to have more than two kids. We are not farmyard animals!

That 2 people could have the same thing (a job, a car, whatever) and if that person was rich, it was classy or indicative of wealth and worldliness, but if they were poor, it was trashy or indicative of lower class. (In the eyes of general society/ NOT in my own eyes! Just to clarify!)

Ones that come to mind for me:

Speaking a second language at home

Owning horses

Having 4 kids

Working at non-profit/charity work
Bad teeth!
Rambling big old house needing repair
Being disshelved
Bring eccentric -*this is a big one, it's okay to be a bit crazy when you're rich/old money
apparently but not if you're poor
Stay at home parent - if you are poor you are lazy but it you're rich it's perfectly acceptable

Was somewhere recently where a wealthy family had a huge slobbery dog named Moose that was completely undisciplined. I think that’s either an extremely wealthy or a very poor thing

Haven’t read the whole thread, so maybe this has been said, but double names for girls. Think Mary Ellen vs. Bobbie Jo.

Wearing an olive tent with holes in it and frayed edges.

It’s either free people and 200 bucks or you’re homeless (or playing an orphan in a Dickens play but same difference).

Haven't read the entire thread so don't know if this has been said yet. Rich people can "take advantage of the system" by using every loophole imaginable to not pay taxes and they are glorified as being smart (it's changing but slowly). But if poor people getting welfare, food stamps whatever are perceived as "working the system", it's looked down upon.
